主体间性理论在博物馆展览中的应用

Application of Inter-subjectivity Theory in Museum Exhibition

博物馆展览是将策展人、展品与观众三者置于同一空间的设计语言,展览中涉及的两类人(观众与策展人)与一类物(展品)是展览成功的关键要素。关于“物人关系”的探讨是博物馆研究的永恒命题。西方哲学领域中的主体间性理论为探索博物馆“物人关系”提供了新视角,将其应用于博物馆展览研究中,即将展览中涉及的“人”——策展人与观众作为策展过程的共同主体,将展品这一“物”作为两个主体面对的共同客体,进而提出博物馆“主体(策展人)—客体(展品)—主体(观众)”关系模式,使博物馆展览致力于寻求策展人与观众的沟通一致性,并通过多重途径实现三者的交互对话,这将为博物馆展览策划提供新的有效思路。

The museum exhibition is a designed language that brings together the curator,exhibits,and audience within the same physical space.The key elements for a successful exhibition involve two types of individuals(audience and curator)and one type of objects(exhibits).The discussion surrounding the"relationship between objects and people"is an eternal proposition in museology.The theory of inter-subjectivity in Western philosophy provides a new perspective for exploring"relationship between objects and people"within museum contexts.Essentially,"people"involved in the exhibition-the curator and the audience-are the common subjects in the curatorial process.The exhibits are considered the common object faced by the two subjects.Consequently,a relationship model termed"subject(curator)-object(exhibit)-subject(audience)"is proposed for museum exhibitions.This model aims to facilitate cohesive communication between curators and audiences,fostering interactive dialogue among all involved parties through diverse means.Such an approach presents efficacious strategies for museum exhibition planning.
